Fraction of the tickets given free
= 1 -
12 -
110= 1 -
510 -
110 =
410 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
Price of the ticket at 20% discount
= 80% x 20
=
80100 x 20
= $16
Number of tickets given for free = 4 u
4 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 4 = 60
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 100 u + 16 u
= 116 u
= 116 x 60
= $6960
Answer(s): $6960
